KRTS Youth Media

Since 2012, Marfa Public Radio has run a radio storytelling intensive for students at Marfa ISD. KRTS Youth Media believes in empowering youth to tell the stories that they want to tell. In 2017, radio students met daily for an in-school radio broadcasting program. Youth Media student producers pitch, write and produce their own radio stories for air on KRTS "West Texas Talk" and PBS NewsHour’s Student Reporting Labs. The students' voices are an integral part of Marfa Public Radio's identity as a station.
